Probably the most dishonest shop with worst customer service in the US. The body shop namely Loring changed my radiator due to an accident. Instead of following procedures, they pulled the line to my ac condencer, venting freon on my engine, firewall, windshield, and fresh air vents. After that the service department changed my oil, and supposedly cleaned my engine, and for some reason couldn't see the freon all over the engine compartment. I picked up the jeep later that night after dark, it was done late and had to pick up the fob from the sales department. Thought the jeep may had a funny smell, but I needed to work the next day, so I turned up the stero and drove it home. The next morning, trusting they repaired things right, I started to doordash. Thought I herd a strange hiss from under the dash. And thought I smelled something. With high amounts of freon in the air, you'll quickly loose your sense of smell. I started getting a headach soon after that and felt disoriented and very sick, also saw the jeep was beginning to overheat. I emediatly drove home. That day I drove the car for about 3.5 hours and put on about 50 miles. Immediately after I got home, I called my Dr. And they connected me to poison control. Finding I was exhibiting signs of freon poisoning. (The freon that vented all over the car evaporated and filled the car with a poisonous atmosphere.) Per Dr Instructions I got fresh air and went to sleep for several hours, before I felt better. I took pictures of all the freon, and got samples of the freon on the windshield the next day, when I looked to see what was wrong. Called loring that Monday morning, told him it was unsafe to drive, and it was overheating. I was told to call a tow company, he said to make sure the jeep came to him and he would give them a po number. Found later that day the jeep had no freon in it, or maybe .46 grams, I'm still unclear, since I'm getting 2 different stories. Loring didn't want to pay the $500 charge from service to fill the system and had all the freon from the system removed, anter service had filled it. Nobody told me there was no freon in it when I picked it up. Loring must have plugged in the fan sensor in when he got it, because when it went back to service the cooling was working, and it wasn't overheating. Johnny from service called me, told me the ac wasent working because all the freon leaked out, and I was lying saying it worked before I brought it in for the radiator change. Told him it was obvious they pulled the ac line and sprayed the engine compartment, thats why it was out of freon, and I have pictures. Again I was called a lier and that the body shop wouldn't do that. Then charged me $1955.00 to replace the condencer and lines, after it passed a vacume test ... 30 lbs for 20 minutes, showing no leak. I've gone as far as I can to realize there not going to make this right, and i have to make them make it right. Not only did they give me back a car that was unsafe to drive poisoning me, they needlesly charged me for a repair there own shop botched. I had to figure out how I was going to get evidence, which if you think about it is ridiculous. I'll include pictures of the freon covered firewall and engine. But will include a side by side picture of my new cabin filter, next to the old oil soaked one, with less than a month of use. Mind you the car sat in the shop for 3 weeks Unfortunately these aren't the only issues I have with them ... ... but if I would have lost consciousness from being in a confined space with a poisonous atmosphere and crashed my car, it could have killed me and several other people. With my job, I DRIVE ALL DAY. they need to be held accountable, and not be able to do this to anyone else. Also I'm going to take even further steps soon unless Management calls me to work this out!!! Freon boils at 65 degrees. It didn't get there till the next day, causing most of it to evaporate. Almost instantly, filling my car with a poisonous atmosphere.

Mildew

Roberson's service department took 3 months to complete a repair after initially being told this repair could take up to 1 month. When I picked up my vehicle there was visible mildew and an order in the Jeep. The service department initially relayed intent to resolve the issue. However the owner of Roberson's has now declined completing the necessary work in order to resolve the mildew.

Mark at Roberson really helped us out. We were stuck in a bad situation and they helped us get out of it. We now love our new Jeep Wrangler!

I recently had my turbo go out & they were able to get my car serviced in a timely manner. My turn…read morearound time was quick and their communication along the way was very efficient. They also addressed a wheel bearing issue they could take care for me- which was an already known issue to me, but I wasn't certain if they were able to resolve it during the same appointment. Between the diagnosis of my turbo & wheel bearing, ordering & delivery process of the parts, and service, I got my car within 2 days. They were absolutely great & transparent about anything they came across or might have issues with that may change the estimate. I was very pleased with their customer service, ability to provide proper care to my car, and their mechanic who did all of the work. They were absolutely amazing & I would trust them with any future services I get with my car. I couldn't recommend them any more ! Thank you guys !!

I am updating this review to address the owner's response. My original review stated facts directly…read morefrom the invoice, which remains attached for anyone to read. 1. The "Air Box Repair" & Filter Charge: The owner claims the $101 was to "repair damage to the air box." As line item #5 on my receipt clearly shows, I was charged $25.91 for the filter, $26.00 for two metal clips, and $49.50 in labor strictly described as "Remove & Replace Engine Air Filter Element." Snapping on two clips during a routine filter change does not justify $101 total, nor does the receipt list any actual repair labor for the box itself. 2. Inaccurate Claims About My Review: Brake Inspection: The owner accused me of "fraud" regarding an $80 inspection charge. I explicitly acknowledged that "While they didn't charge for the brake inspection itself, the overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth." I acknowledge the $0 charge on that specific line item. Caliper vs. Total Brake Cost: The owner claimed I said calipers were $900. I never said that. I stated the total brake repairs came out to over $900--which is accurate, as the front disc brakes ($842.24) and rear drum service ($132.00) totaled $974.24. My review explicitly stated the calipers themselves were "almost $250" ($124.14 x 2 = $248.28), which is accurate to the penny. 3. Unclear Communication on Calipers: Replacing calipers isn't routine maintenance for standard brake wear; it's a major component replacement. Check with any reputable shop and they will agree. Replacing them without clearly explaining why the original calipers had failed--rather than just servicing pads and rotors--lacks basic transparency. Bottom Line: Instead of addressing legitimate concerns over high labor rates ($274 to change a single serpentine belt, $49.50 labor for an air filter element), the owner chose to misquote my original review and throw around baseless accusations. Please ask yourself if being accused of fraud is what you want as a customer before you do business with anyone. Buyer Beware: Take my situation as an example of the response you can expect from this shop if you express honest dissatisfaction. I stand by my experience and my invoice. Please review the attached image of the bill and decide for yourself.

I got better service than I've ever received anywhere! I had gotten stuck over night in Salem due to car issues and had found him in Yelp the next morning. I did have to call many times, but Doc is a husband and wife operation, so they are busy. However, he called me back and fit me into his schedule, problem solved my bent hood and pushed-in front of my car, and gave me super helpful advice on topping the oil in my very old car. My dad had followed me out to Doc's garage because I wasn't sure my car would make it, and we listened to what Doc was telling me. Dad said I had received such great service and was fortunate to have such an experienced mechanic take the time to explain what was going on with my car. I'm a little embarrassed to say, I didn't know that many old cars need to be topped with oil between the 3,000 miles mark. That explained the sound my car was making and how it felt driving. Though I was embarrassed, I never felt talked down to by Doc. (Ladies, take your car here!) The other problem with my car was that I had gotten into a fender bender on my way to Salem and was unable to unlatch my hood. We left Doc's for an hour and came back after receiving his call. Doc had somehow managed to smooth the hood and get it to unlatch and latch again. This was amazing because the problem wasn't just with my hood, but with the whole front of my car. It had been pushed in 3 or more inches pinching the radiator. What Doc charged for his work was so reasonable, I was dismayed. I would drive from Portland to Keizer to have Doc work on my car. He was great.

I was able to take my car in, in the morning, and have it done in a few hours. My daughter recently needed brakes on her VW Rabbit, and I took her car to Doc Brown's and had her brakes replaced. Again, the brakes were done quickly, and at a very reasonable price. If you're looking for an honest, dependable, and knowledgeable auto tech, this is the place to go. Just be aware that this isn't like a regular garage or dealer's waiting room. There's nowhere to sit and wait for your car, so you'll have to have someone pick you up and then take you back for your car when it's finished. But I'll take a little inconvenience for good, competent work and price anytime.
